I am looking forward to the 3rd Albany Half Marathon. This will be my 3rd year running it! I'm excited they have added a 5k and kids mile run this year! Fun for the whole family! Everyone is welcome. Walkers, runners, strollers and dogs!

August 15th $65.00 (day of race)Includes a dri-fit shirt and medal at the finish line~5k $25.00 and includes a dri-fit shirt~Kids mile (age 12 and under) $5.00Register here

There will be water stations set up about every two miles. At mile 6.5 there will be a nutrition station and porta potty as well.

I have ran this both years and it was well organized with lots of fun drawings at the end during awards. Top ten males and females in each age group will receive prizes. All proceeds goes to the Albany Schools. Course is a "loop" progressing through local farms. A slight incline about mile 6. You will get a fabulous view of rural homesteads, go over a few rolling hills and see the base of the cascades. You don't want to miss this one!
